7df6f4161c rustc: Add a #[wasm_custom_section] attribute
This commit is an implementation of adding custom sections to wasm artifacts in
rustc. The intention here is to expose the ability of the wasm binary format to
contain custom sections with arbitrary user-defined data. Currently neither our
version of LLVM nor LLD supports this so the implementation is currently custom
to rustc itself.

The implementation here is to attach a `#[wasm_custom_section = "foo"]`
attribute to any `const` which has a type like `[u8; N]`. Other types of
constants aren't supported yet but may be added one day! This should hopefully
be enough to get off the ground with *some* custom section support.

The current semantics are that any constant tagged with `#[wasm_custom_section]`
section will be *appended* to the corresponding section in the final output wasm
artifact (and this affects dependencies linked in as well, not just the final
crate). This means that whatever is interpreting the contents must be able to
interpret binary-concatenated sections (or each constant needs to be in its own
custom section).

To test this change the existing `run-make` test suite was moved to a
`run-make-fulldeps` folder and a new `run-make` test suite was added which
applies to all targets by default. This test suite currently only has one test
which only runs for the wasm target (using a node.js script to use `WebAssembly`
in JS to parse the wasm output).

Replace most call to grep in run-make by a script that cat the input.
Introduced a new src/etc/cat-and-grep.sh script (called in run-make as
$(CGREP)), which prints the input and do a grep simultaneously. This is
mainly used to debug spurious failures in run-make, such as the sanitizer
error in #45810, as well as real errors such as #46126.

98037ca43d don't pass -C to nm
the nm in our macOS bots don't support that flag and it's not really required

ecddad6920 don't test for the absence of BAR in the rmake test
it's not related to this feature
